ZOO 2025 Human Physiology
Each human organ system will be studied in terms of its functional anatomy and physiology. Integration and control of physiological processes will be emphasized to give students a practical working knowledge of such processes as digestion, nervous transmission, cardiac and circulatory function, respiration, muscle con- traction, reproduction, and excretion. The laboratories will include experiments utilizing the most modern computer data acquisition equipment to acquire and analyze electrocardiograms, respiratory function tests, and muscle physiology. Techniques will be learned for determining blood pressure, blood count, complete blood count parameters, urinalysis, vision, hearing body composition, and cardiovascular fitness. The chemistry of digestion will be studied in the laboratory. It is recommended, but not required, that students successfully complete
